It is very important that you wish a happy 7th birthday to my baby, to the light of my life (who's resistant to being taken pictures of).
Very talented to nap on you as you watch TV. Also proficient in the arts of barking at neighbors and tearing his plushies apart.
Still, a very good boy!

So, if you're going to do business with localization agencies, please enforce crediting clauses in your contracts. Often, the freelancers working for these companies hold 0 bargaining power, and risk everything just by asking to be credited.
